While I'm Waiting on Thread, Another Top Finished

I went back and forth with a thread delima on
my DS's quilt.  I have a med-gray but it was an
emergency-purchase thread to finish a previous project.
If ever a quilt is going to get a lot of wear and tear, it
will be this one so I'm just not comfortable using a generic
thread (I'm not really ever so why am I keeping it!?!?)
so I gave in and placed an order.  

While waiting on the thread to show up, I pulled out my
other current project, the 30's sampler/Irish chain quilt.


I decided to do the piano key border
(as a reader suggested--thank you)
to use up all of my little scrappy pieces.


And just like that, another quilt top done; in fact,
 the backing is pieced and it's completely ready to
load up...just as soon as DS's rolls off.

Here we are creeping up on August and I'm wondering:
 do I try to squeeze in that Dresden within the next
couple weeks before the overwhelming urge to
create some autumn in the sewing room hits?
Hmmm...

Happy quilting!

Looks great! I am a sucker for Irish Chain style quilts!
Cute quilt top. The piano key border works well with those blocks.
